Blue poppy is the seed of the poppy plant, which originated in Asia. It has been cultivated for centuries in the Czech Republic, where it is a traditional part of Czech cuisine.But few people know that the Czech blue poppy is not only tasty, but also rich in nutrients, including fibre, protein, vitamins B and E, calcium and magnesium. Hence the several health benefits that poppy has. First of all, it improves digestion and increases energy. It also promotes bone, joint and skin health. Last but not least, it also reduces the risk of chronic diseases.In Czech cuisine, poppy seeds are most often used in a mixture with sugar as a filling for buns, cakes, dumplings or for sprinkling on sweet lunches. But it can be just as tasty in muesli, yoghurt or as a flavouring for homemade ice cream.
